Not been here for a long time and was just wondering if my old car is still around. Hi to the few who may remember me! Dave

Does any body know how much Luke used to sell his carbon fibre bonnet for ? He does not seem to sell them any more.

just found out that I am going on a training course in Atlanta next week. Guess what's on at the weekend...... http://www.znationals.com/ Oh yeah!!!!!!

Jeff advised me to talk to you about some help for some engine parts. Could you give me a call on 07506799816 please and i will ring you back. Cheers Dave.

Re run of the racing on snow/Ice, poor ole Zed is getting a bashing on the bends lol smithy

Finally got round to fitting my HID kit after over a year of them sitting in my toolbox! :blush: Got them from DTA - very nice kit & results look good so far - must go out at night to try them!! :biggrin: One HID fitted vs standard lamp: both HIDs fitted:

Hi Guys, just pondering on a few things, how much wider would the zed be with a wide arch kit on? CheerZ Daz.

With the amount of "bad press" seen on here concerning some certain engine builders and their morally bad practises most find themselves knocking Jimmers door to get it done correctly. However it can often be of interest when a new player in the world of rebuilds turn up, one such player has come to our attemtion twice in the past month ( link below) http://www.idealengines.co.uk/img/header-image.jpg Now before i go on, we have no evidence this company is bad at all and as such this is not a slagging off thread just an information one. A customer who decided to source his own replacement engine for us to fit contacted the company above and had a quo…

Does anyone have a pic of how the release cable attached to the release lever? I discovered yesterday (at a petrol station in Ilminster with an empty tank and a long drive back home) the flap no longer opens. I unscrewed the sill trim and looked under the carpet but nothing obvious. A gentle pry with a cloth-wrapped swiss army knife got the flap open but I'd like the proper fix. The only things that have happened since the last fill up a couple of weeks ago is a detail and I knocked the lever with a boot like a clumsy git. That's why I think the problem is at the level end. Any pics/ hints? Ta.

im on a budjet atm so ive been looking about trying to put some part worns on the front, the rim width is 235, im thinking that putting on a 225 would have very little difference to anything apart from saving cash as they seem more common. esp if i used a 225/40/18 instead of a 235/35/18. any thoughts on thing? also is there any hazzard of going smaller im not a fan of strech, i dont trust it, but obviously tiny amounts are negliable so what does consitute as tiny? as does teh zed actually require a 225 front tyre?

Can anyone help me in finding an alternative or know where i can get replacement inserts that mount inside the the diff bush in the picture? As the originals have gone walkies. Thanks Dan

Cutting a long story short i fitted an oil line from the rear of the oil tree to use for the oil pressure and temp sensor for my digi dash. Only untill now when im getting to the stages of trying to fit the gearbox ive noticed that the oil line might be in the way? What do you think? Does the starter motor butt up agaist the block? Also the sandwich plate looks close as well. Cheers Dan

I might have some engine temp problems. I have tried two autugauge temp readers and sensors and two ecu temp (the old and a new one shows the same). AC off The autogauge shows about 120 degrees before fans kick in for full. The ecu shows 105 degress. AC The autogauge shows about 115 degrees The ecu show 100 degress. The original dash temp stays in the middle all the time. Same in both nistune and datascan. How can I find out what the correct temp actually is?:confused1:

Hi, I've got this darn rattling from the windows when open slightly. I've read the posts about a simple fix on here but haven't had any luck with it. I took off the B pillar cover and found a nut underneath a small cover just under the seatbelt mount. This is nice and tight and still rattling. Am I looking at the wrong thing or is it going to be something else entirely? I recorded the rattling, in this position it is worst.

Well 2nd or 3rd Hand LOL....Still I'm pleased :)

Hello people, just wondering where the best place is to get cheap car insurance for the zed, my best quote is £850 from Adrian Flux. It's actually cheaper than I was expecting but you don't earn no claims bonuses, just though someone may know somewhere better! Also the reviews for them are terrible!! Cheers!

anyone know where i can buy 2 brand new z32 track rods? need them for steering modifications for my s14 :D apart from obvoiusly nissan! :D cheers

Hi Guys, can someone explain why some clocks sell for £100+ and others for £20/£30, i suppose its JDM v UK, but why and what is the difference, can you tell visually? Thanks Rich

silver zed, tt i think. patchwork filler on front bumper. on m25 towards m4 i think. reg L287 L** thursday afternoon driver looked like a bald guy in shades

Has anyone noticed that thankfully the price of 300zx's is begining to drag its arse up? I was having a browse of whats available and for anything turbo with a manual box the price is at least £2500 and anything thats reasonable is holding a good price. About dam time as well, I remember selling my last zed for £1500.... manual turbo, leather retrim etc no smoke reasonable miles. That'd be up at 3k these days!

Noticed tonight my zed has started smoking out of the n/s exhaust when idling, but not straightaway its after 30-40 seconds.doesnt appear to be smoking when moving and appears to be boosting fine but smoke smells funny Am I assuming the worst when I think buggered turbo or could it be something simple? I have got a dodgy tps and the exhaust tips on both sides are very sooty Please tell me it isnt a turbo after only 2 weeks of ownership :(

was it you Red 300 Horton to Shaftesbury tonight at 6 ish reg No M216 ***

Well the zed is now taxed, which means i can get it out and enjoy it, before it comes off the road for abit to get the rear arches done. Mark
